Chapter 86: Roth: What Has This Baby Done To Deserve That!!

    The giant-clawed bird, a large solitary bird and beast that lives near the sea and cliffs, had a strong sense of territory. Only once food became scarce in winter, the giant-clawed bird would leave its territory and go out to hunt for food.

    Although not good at long-distance flying, the giant-clawed bird was very good at explosive strength—— Yang Yang and the others only managed to let out a “you damn”, and the giant-clawed bird had already disappeared.

    What else can they do, chase!

    Archibald quickly started the aircraft and rushed in the direction where the giant clawed bird flew just now.

    The cameras on Fu Qing and Monta’s shoulders could no longer see the shadow of the giant-clawed bird. Yang Yang switched to Roth’s perspective, but all he saw was a black screen.

    Yang Yang: “???”

    Yang Yang: “Roth, open your eyes for me.”

    Roth’s clueless voice sounded in Yang Yang’s mind: 【Master, they’re open. 】

    Yang Yang: 【  ? ? ? 】

    Roth:【I’m curled into a ball, with my head buried, its claws are too big, I can’t move at all. 】

    Yang Yang: 【………】

    Yang Yang looked at Archibald: “Roth can’t see the surrounding environment clearly, what should we do?”

    Archibald remained calm and responded while operating the aircraft: “The giant-clawed bird is not very aggressive and likes to hoard food. Kami is safe for the time being, don’t worry ——the aircraft will be very bumpy in a while, find a pillow and don’t knock into anything.”

    Before Yang Yang could respond, Archibald turned on the communication again and contacted Monta: “Search along the jungle with logistical support, Yang Yang will attempt to catch up to the bird, the target is currently estimated to be within the range of the 2nd-3rd floor of the b3 area.”

    Monta’s voice was unusually serious: “Fuck, this is an unexplored area. I’ve already called for backup. Be careful and keep in touch.”

    Yang Yang didn’t bother Archibald, he took a pillow from the space obediently, hugged it in front of his belly and communicated with Roth in your head.

     【Roth, it’s the giant clawed bird that caught you, check its information and see if you can save yourself. Also, try to pass on some information to me, it’s too difficult to locate you now. How is Kami doing now? 】

    Rotter: 【Kami is fine, but she is crying a little bit. ——Master, I found out the habits of the giant clawed bird. Ying!】

    Yang Yang:  【What’s wrong? 】

    Roth broke down and cried loudly: 【The giant-clawed bird slams its prey to kill it, Rong Hui gave me a modified body, yi-ahhh! ! Master! It started knocking! ! 】

    Yang Yang: 【………】

    Even without Roth saying it, Yang Yang also heard the violent sounds coming from there: the rustling of branches and the sound of many mixed strong collisions.

     In the meantime, there came Roth’s wails with many exclamation marks.

     【My bionic fur! 】

    【Ah! My tailbone! ! ]

    【Don’t hit my head! Rong Hui just added gears that can turn my ears into airplane ears! ! ! 】

    Yang Yang already had a headache from all this screaming: 【Shut up.  】

    Roth:  【...ying.  】

    Archibald also heard the voice from Yang Yang’s terminal, he frowned, and explained to Yang Yang: “After the giant clawed bird bursts into flight, it falls back into the jungle. For one, it’s to recover its strength and fly again; another reason is using its body weight and the impact of the branches to stun or kill the captured prey.”

    Yang Yang: “…”

    He already knew the latter point.

    But Yang Yang knew what Archibald was worried about when he said this.

    Yang Yang: “Rong Hui upgraded Roth’s body before, so it should be no problem to protect Kami.”

    Archibald relaxed a little, and said: “The giant clawed bird also has natural enemies in the jungle. Each time of rest will take no more than ten minutes before it sets off to fly again—— we have to locate it within those ten minutes.”

    They were currently inside an aircraft and if they were to enter the dense forest to search, would have to abandon it behind. If they couldn’t find it within ten minutes, the giant clawed bird would take off again, making them waste a lot of time returning to the aircraft. The hope of finding Kami would be even slimmer .

    Archibald: “Can Roth provide location information?”

    Yang Yang: “I asked it to collect it, it should be—”

    Yang Yang didn’t finish speaking, because he saw the screen suddenly lit up, and then between the green leaves brushing past was a flash of a tawny claw, then another sound of sparks bursting out.

    Finally, the screen went black.

    Yang Yang: “…”

    Archibald: “…”

    Yang Yang pressed his forehead:  【Roth. 】

    Roth’s tone was devoid of life: 【Master, I’m blind. ——I worked as Rong Hui’s computing core for for half a month in exchange for the nh9 artificial eyes. I only used them for eleven days and went blind. 】

    Yang Yang: 【………】

    Condolences, but I won’t buy it for you.

    Yang Yang gave Roth a second of silence, and then asked:  【Can you determine your location? 】

    Roth replied in a lifeless tone: 【It’s impossible to accurately locate, I can only provide an approximate range. However, my body isn’t completely paralysed so I can determine the positioning range  】

    As Roth was saying that, the light screen of the Yang Yang’s terminal changed to a picture, and a military map appeared.

    The small green triangle on the map was where their aircraft was located and a tiny red circle in the distance was approximate Roth’s location.

    Yang Yang showed the light screen to Archibald: “Duke, Roth says to search in this range, it can’t be done more accurately.”

    Archibald glanced at it and suddenly realised: “…”

    Wasn’t this B-level classified military reconnaissance map? ?

    Forget it, saving lives is more important.

    Archibald: “I see, sit still.”

    The next second, the aircraft hovered at a high altitude, and then turned sideways at 90 degrees, the energy rotation pushed to the maximum, as it rushed out with a “boom”, and the consumed blue soul crystals left a light blue trail dragging out in the air, before disappearing in seconds.

    …

    The area calculated by Roth was deep in a forest with dense trees that towered into the sky, making it hard to find a place to land for the aircraft.

    Yang Yang was still worried, but Archibald rushed straight down.

    After shaking and bumping for a while, the aircraft broke through the dense tree canopy and landed on a small vacant slope. ——It was unknown how Archibald found this small slope at high altitude.

    Right now, four minutes had passed since the giant clawed bird landed in the jungle.

    Archibald opened the safety buckle, turned around and said to Yang Yang: “You stay here, I’ll go down and look for it first. Let Roth follow my terminal.

    Remember, no matter what happens, don’t leave the aircraft, if you are around Remember to contact me immediately if there are any abnormalities. Do you understand?”

    Yang Yang nodded obediently: “Yes. You also pay attention to safety.”

    “Okay. Wait for me to come back.”

    Archibald leaned over and kissed Yang Yang’s forehead, and then activated the defense mode of the aircraft, closed the hatch, turned around and ran into the depths of the jungle.

    Yang Yang asked Roth to provide real time broadcast of Archibald’s situation and sat nervously, watching the live broadcast while hugging the pillow.

    Although Roth could only give a range, Archibald had grown up doing similar missions since he was a child, and there was no “secrecy” for him in such an environment.

    Soon, Archibald found a clue.

    “That’s my fur.”

    Roth looked at a bunch of black hair that Archibald had twirled from a branch, his baby voice was full of vicissitudes.

    Archibald: “…”

    Oh.

    Archibald threw away the fur in his hand, then looked around, changed direction and continued to move forward.

    He had only walked a few steps when Roth suddenly exclaimed “hey”.

    Archibald kept walking: “What’s the matter?”

    Roth: “…All of my energy tubes have been dismantled.”

    Not a single one left, all of them had been dismantled! !

    Archibald: “…”

    Yang Yang: “…”

    Archibald was stunned for a moment and quickly realized something, “The giant-clawed bird can’t do this kind of operation, it should be a human.

    Long time ago, the Old Emperor Star had been reduced to the battlefield because of the dragon-level soul beast, then became a waste planet, then the global population migrated.

    There was a five-month blank period before the government took over the Old Emperor Star again. Then it took another three months to decide to let the military manage the Old Emperor Star.

    When the military took over the Old Emperor Star, the Old Emperor Star had already become a planet outside the law, the “leftovers” left after the great migration were feeding many gangs. ——This was also the root of the saying “Old Emperor Star is a treasure hunt” known until today.

    After that, it took another year for the military to expel the illegal gangs and re-establish order.

    Although the military department was strict, this was a whole planet after all, previously being the former imperial capital.

    Not enough manpower, not enough weapons, not enough money.

    Even now, when the Old Emperor Star gained the reputation as a military planet, the area under the control of the military was less than 20% of the planet.

    And beyond 20%, it was all ruins and wilderness, no one could tell what was hidden inside.

    “Duke, what’s the matter?”

    Yang Yang couldn’t see Archibald’s expression, but he could hear the seriousness in his tone.

    Archibald followed the traces of the giant-clawed bird, and while advancing quickly, he replied: “It’s likely that someone caught the giant-clawed bird and took away Roth’s energy tubes.”

     Yang Yang was taken aback hearing that, but quickly understood: “Will Kami be taken away by those people? Who are they?”

    Facing Yang Yang’s question, Archibald couldn’t give an answer: “I don’t know.”

    Yang Yang pursed his lips and didn’t ask Archibald any more questions. He only kept praying in his heart— let Kami be alright!

    Archibald’s speed was very fast and his sight was very keen. In just a few minutes, he had already travelled through a large part of the jungle and found Roth’s “corpse”.

    Looking at the screen transmitted back, Yang Yang immediately understood—Archibald guessed right.

    In the video, there was a lot of blood splashed at the foot of a big tree, the thick and soft layer of fallen leaves on the ground was in a mess, and there were some taupe feathers scattered around.

    Not far from the blood, the “corpse” of the black panther lay quietly.

    It was disembowelled, the space for energy tubes in the abdominal cavity were empty, and the fur on its body was tattered like a rag.

    The most tragic thing was that not only the energy tubes, but also all of the undamaged and detachable things on the black panther were taken away.

    The current black panther had only a layer of torn skin left, and even its tail had been removed.

    Roth: “…”

    Roth cried out with an “wah” sound: “Master! I died so miserably!!”

    Archibald: “…”

    Yang Yang: “… …”

    Yang Yang: “Shut up, I will find a way to get you a new body later.—Duke, Kami was taken away.”

    Archibald responded: “En, but it should not be an illegal gang—— —The giant clawed bird has a huge body and tough outer feathers. The most convenient way to hunt it is to use an energy gun, but there are no traces of using energy weapons or thermal weapons nearby.”

    It’s also possible be that the other party just didn’t have a gun.

    ——Yang Yang suppressed this idea, he also hoped that Archibald’s analysis was correct.

    Archibald checked the surrounding traces, then went in another direction.

    But right at this time, Yang Yang’s hesitant voice came from the terminal: “Duke.”

    Archibald: “En?”

    Yang Yang: “emmm, I seem to be surrounded.”

    Archibald: “… …”

    Archibald: “!!!”
